Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 376 Having fun
The sixth day of February in the first year of Shengping (AD 357).

As the saying goes, the plan for the year begins with spring. It is the spring plowing season, and farmers everywhere are immersed in busy work.

Kansai is no exception.

Huan Xi wore a short coat and took Aman to plant rice in the field.

At this time of year, as long as he was still in Chang'an, no matter how busy he was, he would take a day to work in the fields to show his emphasis on agriculture.

The emperor has a tradition of personally farming, so how could Huan Xi not let go of his status?

Of course, Huan Xi's move was not all for show. It was always good to have the opportunity to let Aman know the hard work of farming.

Xie Daoyun was dressed simply. She was sitting under the banyan tree on the edge of the field, looking at their father and son lovingly, her eyes filled with sparkle.

The second son Huande, also known as Xianghaier, was chasing and playing with Huanlu, the eldest son of the concubine, and Luoniang, the eldest daughter of the concubine, on the ridges of the fields, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Aman followed his father with a bamboo basket, following closely every step. Whenever Huanxi finished planting the seedlings in his hands and reached out to Aman, Aman would grab a handful of seedlings from the bamboo basket and hand them over.

"There's not much left. Finish it as soon as possible and go back early."

"Look at your hands full of mud, don't make the water dirty."

Aman followed his father's example and stretched his neck to take a swig.

"Here he comes! The baby's father!"

Huan Xi looked at the area of ​​the ground that had not yet been planted, shook his head and said:

However, Huan Xi no longer allowed her to keep civet cats for fear of causing allergies and subsequent infection.

"It's noon now, and the sun is very hot. My father might as well go to enjoy the shade under the banyan tree first."

Of course Huan Xi couldn't bear to let his sweetheart work in the fields at such a young age. On the contrary, he himself was tired and thirsty after planting seedlings all morning.

After drinking a ladle, Xie Daoyun carefully wiped Huan Xi's mouth with his sleeve and said:

The fat cat that was said to be able to do a backflip had already been sent to Yutangdian and asked Li Yuan and Luo Niang to raise it on her behalf.

Xie Daoyun came to the father and son and first scooped a ladle of cooled water for Huan Xi. Huan Xi was about to take it when Xie Daoyun patted his wrist with his free hand.

Saying that, Xie Daoyun raised the ladle to Huan Xi's mouth. Huan Xi was so happy that he didn't have to do it himself and started drinking in big gulps.

Xie Daoyun waited patiently for him to finish drinking, and while wiping his sweat, he asked with concern:

Huan Xi shouted to Xie Daoyun.

"Zheng'er, are you tired?"

When Xie Daoyun saw this, he didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he scooped up another ladle of water and handed it to Aman's mouth.

"Damn it! Hurry up and bring some water! My throat is about to smoke!"

When Huan Xi went out of the city to plow the fields, he did not call any slaves or maids to serve him. He only took Lang Wei with him to protect the safety of his family.

Xie Daoyun agreed, took off his shoes, carried the bucket and went down to the field, ignoring the mud under his feet, and went straight to their father and son.

Xie Daoyun's pregnancy is now considered stable and she has not yet shown her pregnancy, so there is no inconvenience in her movement.

There was no lofty Duke Liang today, so Xie Daoyun naturally put aside his dignity. Even the names they used as husband and wife seemed a bit vulgar and vulgar compared to usual.

Aman's head shook like a rattle:
"The child actually doesn't work hard, he just follows the grandfather and passes the seedlings."

When Huan Xi heard this, he looked at the three siblings playing in the fields and said with a smile:

"In a few years, when my father is old, you brothers will also grow up. I won't have the strength to go to the fields by then. It's your turn to take De'er and Lu'er to work in the fields. Your mother and I will be under the banyan tree. Watch."

Aman said quickly:
"My grandpa is in his prime. Not to mention just a few years, even if it has been more than ten years, he is not old." Huan Xi was happy, and regardless of his dirty hands, he pinched Aman's face and said:

"Look at this little mouth, it's as sweet as honey."

Xie Daoyun saw that Aman's fair little face was stained by Huan Xi, and knew that he had done it deliberately. Xie Daoyun gently pinched some of the soft flesh around Huan Xi's waist, obviously without using any force, but Huan Xi kept begging for mercy.

Aman watched his parents laughing and playing, and he couldn't help but laugh happily.

In fact, he really likes this atmosphere.

When Huan Xi returned to Weiyang Palace, he was too tired to straighten up.

In the Jiaofang Hall, Huan Xi lay comfortably in the bathtub, while Xie Daoyun rubbed his shoulders.

"Sometimes, it's quite emotional."

Huan Xi suddenly opened his eyes and said.

Xie Daoyun didn't know what he thought of again, and said doubtfully:
"Why do you say this, husband?"

Huan Xi did not answer, but stretched out his hand to hold his wife's delicate hand that was on his shoulder:
"Sit in and wash together."

Xie Daoyun didn't refuse. After all, they were an old couple and they were just taking a bath together, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

She untied her clothes and sat naked in the tub, her fair jade back pressed against Huan Xi's chest, letting him hold her behind her.

Huan Xi stroked his wife's belly with his right hand and said:

"I still remember how I looked when I first met Ling Jiang. In the blink of an eye, we will have our third child."

Hearing this, Xie Daoyun recalled her first meeting with Huan Xi and couldn't help laughing.

She still remembered that at that time, Huanxi was ridiculed by He Chong for acting stupid in front of He Chong, saying that he was as stupid as a dog. This comment was also leaked and became the laughing stock of the people at the time.

Even Xie Daoyun was biased against Huan Xi because of his preconceptions.

Xie Daoyun turned around and rolled his eyes at Huan Xi:
"At that time, I only thought that my husband had a good skin, but in fact he was very stupid. Little did I know that I had fallen into my husband's plan."

Huan Xi hugged her tighter, feeling the touch of their skin, and said with a smile:

"This is called pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."

Xie Daoyun was used to words that Huan Xi had never heard of coming out of his mouth from time to time, but that made sense.

In fact, as his status became higher and more stable, Huan Xi rarely paid attention to his words anymore.

There are very few people or things in this world that he worries about anymore.

Even if he said some modern words that were difficult for ancient people to understand in public, no one would delve into it, let alone ask questions.

Could it be that the dignified Liang Gong could really be kidnapped to exorcise evil spirits?

The principle of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is very simple. Hearing this, Xie Daoyun burst out laughing:
"In this way, I am a tiger, but my husband is the black-faced man raised in the pen."

"Yunxian Miscellaneous Notes" quotes "Taiping Old Compilation": A black-faced man is also called a pig.

Saying that, Xie Daoyun turned around and looked Huan Xi up and down:

"My husband has been exposed to wind and sun these years, and he is much darker than when he was young."

Huan Xi didn't take it seriously and said:
"I'm not that white-faced scholar with no power. After ten years of fighting, I only tanned my skin and was not disfigured by swords and arrows. You should have some fun. Ling Jiang, after so many years, is still like this. As white as jade.”

Huan Xi said and couldn't help but touch every inch of Xie Daoyun's skin.
